There's Nobuddy Like a Brother


We are experienceing a very happy time in the Handsaker House. Layla and Cooper are in complete harmony. Shhhhh, I don't want to hear this won't last...that this is a phase. I am choosing to live in complete ignorance.

Instead of saying, "mom" every two seconds, Cooper is now saying "Lal" every two seconds. And she LOVES it! Finally, her brother that returns hair pulling for her kisses and biting for her hugs seems to have grown a sensitive bone. His new nickname for Layla (Lal) is music to her ears! They have always been best buds, primarily because Layla is quick to forgive and find the best in people. But these days, Cooper wants to be with her, sit with her and do everything she does.

He is now pedaling his own trike and drinking out of cups with no lids. He also gave her a very long kiss good night the other night. I mean two hands on her shoulders, holding her close. It was far too long of a kiss for a brother to give a sister. When she could finally pull away Layla said, "Geez, I guess he thought I was his wife."
